(5,062 posts)9. This is terribly sad and my heart breaks for her suffering. And if the translation is accurate she
says nothing about Netanyahu or killing all Palestinians or anything about the current situation in Gaza. She shares her pain about the horrific attack and losing her son. Hamas did that horrible act. No argument there. But her words are not the words of the Tweeter who, as the Israeli Government Spokesperson, is posting her short video snippet.
We can and should listen to her and feel her pain. I can do that and also want a ceasefire and the end to this mass killing of civilians the children of Israel and Palestine deserve our compassion and our guidance. We need to give them peace.
